Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus
Using a letter of introduction from Queen Isabella's former confessor, Christopher Columbus gains access to the Spanish court where he tries to convince authorities of the practicality of his proposed voyage to reach to Far East by sailing west. Court intrigue and the efforts of Francisco de Bobadilla, whose financial interests would be hurt by Columbus' success, are roadblocks to the voyage, but the navigator perseveres and ultimately prevails.

Interesting from an educational perspective. The best scenes are of the natutical adventure and the historic discovery. Unfortunately, they wait until halfway through the movie.
